Custom list from directory

[smordue]

I am trying to create a customized <ul> from a list of files in a directory. I need the final result to be:

 

<li><img src="img/Fall in Germany.jpg" title="Fall in Germany" alt="Fall in Germany"/></li>

 

Here is where I am so far:

 

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('img')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
      {
          if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
  {
          	$thelist .= '<li><img src="img/'.$file.'" title="'.$file.'" alt="'.$file.'"/></li>';
          }
       }
  closedir($handle);
  }
?>
<ul class="gallery">
<?=$thelist?>
</ul>

 

What I need to be able to do is strip off the file extension for the title and alt tags only.

Save the $file variable as another variable, and use either Explode() or substr() (see the php manual for more info on how to use these functions).

 

Then for the Title and Alt parts use the new variable instead.
